The Peer Coaching Program is comprised of ten sessions, which will be conducted over the course of a twelve month period. The duration of the Peer Coaching Program is designed to address the needs of coaches. Participants in the program have asked that they have the opportunity to apply coaching skills in their schools during the Peer Coaching Program. After they have had the opportunity to apply these skills they wanted structured activities that give them the chance to work with other coaches to share what is working, and to discuss ways to address coaching issues they face in their schools. Sessions six through ten are scheduled in to provide that opportunity for collaboration.

Participants' first activities in this program are to link their coaching program to their schools’ educational improvement plans, to define who they work with and how that work will help reach their schools’ goals. They work to define their roles and responsibilities as a coach for themselves, and learn how to communicate this with their school staff.
